If you get 8 miles per gallon, it will cost you 50 cents a mile at $4.00 per gallon of gasoline. If you get 12 miles per gallon, as many Diesels do, it will cost you just under 37 cents per mile at $4.35 per gallon. KEEP READING AND RESPONDING!!!!!

Budget a buck a mile, then you will have the extra for repairs and regular stuff. I reckon most owners put on an average of 3000 miles a month for six months of the year. That about covers me for truck maintenance and depreciation plus of course fuel.

$1 good rule of thumb.

We put on 8000 mile in 31 days last summber/fall and spent $3600 for gas only but some was $3 too.
